school supplies

Brand new school supplies are one of life’s great joys. The smell of a fresh pack of pencils, the feeling of tearing the plastic off a stack of pristine notebook paper. Ahhh. Can we repeat 3rd grade, please? Designer and maker extraordinaire Ceri Staziker stops by the blog today to show us how to make custom, personalized notebook covers so your kid can feel like the coolest in the room on day one. Read on for the quick and simple how-to.

The winner of our school supply-themed fabric contest is PennyCandy, an amazing Seattle designer with one previous win to her credit (last year's tea towel calendar contest). It almost certainly won't be her last! Looking through the top vote-getters, I expect there are at least one or two kids out there who can expect an awesome new bookbag soon.

In at least one Spoonflower house this
week, we've been busy stocking up on notebooks, pens & pencils, new
lunchboxes and other sundry items we need to send three girls back to
school. In honor of the excitement that goes with this annual tradition,
we asked designers to come up with fabric designs celebrating school
supplies. We've got 172 entries awaiting your votes!
